Abstract
Analysis of the tylosin gene cluster in Streptomyces fradiae uncovered an ORF, tyl1a, homologous to a hexose 3,4-isomerase found in Aneurinibacillus thermoaerophilus. Inclusion of the tyl1a gene along with other mycaminose biosynthetic genes (tylB, tylM1, tylM2, tylM3) identified in previous studies in an in vivo expression system successfully reconstituted the mycaminose pathway. Expression of tyl1a alone in the S venezuelae KdesI mutant converted a desosamine pathway to a mycaminose pathway. These results strongly support the role of Tyl1a as a TDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-glucose 3,4-isomerase.Keywords
